Weatherman calmly knees college kid in the groin, continues report

Attempt to videobomb Jim Cantore ends badly for Charleston student

The true mark of a professional is how he handles unexpected circumstances. In the case of the Weather Channel’s Jim Cantore, that meant kneeing a video-bombing college kid in the groin and simply continuing his report.

The veteran meteorologist was in South Carolina Tuesday night covering a winter storm from the College of Charleston when he found himself the target of a video bomber. In a clip being widely shared online, the unidentified student is heard yelling as he runs toward Cantore, but rather than stop his report or move out of the way, Cantore plants a knee right into the kid’s nuts when he comes close.

“Obviously, here at the College of Charleston they are already having a good time,” Cantore quips.

Whoever was on the receiving end of weatherman justice probably came to regret the intrusion.
